Waldwick High School is a four-year comprehensive public high school that serves students in ninth through twelfth grade from Waldwick, in Bergen County, New Jersey, United States, operating as part of the Waldwick Public School District. The school has been accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools Commission on Secondary Schools since 1969. In 2008, the school came up for Middle States re-accreditation for the next ten years.
The school complex serves Waldwick students grades six though twelve along with a pre-school program run by students as part of a class. The district's middle school is located on the campus of the Waldwick High School building.
As of the 2014-15 school year, the school had an enrollment of 464 students and 41.8 classroom teachers (on an FTE basis), for a student–teacher ratio of 11.1:1. There were 4 students (0.9% of enrollment) eligible for free lunch and none eligible for reduced-cost lunch.
Voters approved a referendum in June 1961 by a better than ten-to-one margin to provide for a $2.6 million bond covering the costs of construction. Until the high school opened, Waldwick students had been enrolled at Midland Park High School as part of a sending/receiving relationship that led to overcrowding at the Midland Park school.
The school was completed in 1963 to accommodate 1,500 students in grades eight through twelve. The school opened with students in grades nine and ten, as students who had already been enrolled at Midland Park High School in previous years completed their education there. The first class of students graduated from Waldwick High School in 1966. The "Kids, Kids, Kids" preschool program was established in the 1970s, in which high school juniors and seniors work with preschoolers three days each week as part of an elective program for students that is available for a fee to the public.
